Before you can use test resources from a shared network location,
an Administrator must make the resources available to Quality Manager.
For Windows® servers, Quality Manager must be able to
access the shared resource using the UNC naming convention. For example, if
the test resources are stored on a server in the C:\MyRemoteAssets directory,
an administrator must map a UNC path, such as \\9.27.150.168\RemoteTestAssets or \\OurTestServer\RemoteTestAssets to those test resources.
For Linux® servers, Quality Manager must be
able to access the shared resource using a Linux pathname. The shared resource locations
can be pre-mounted or can be configured to auto-mount when used.
In
addition, the user must be able to access these resources without having to
supply a password.
To make shared test resources available to Quality Manager:
- Log in to Quality Manager with administrative privileges.
- In the upper right corner of the main Quality Manager window, click .
- Click Resources.
- Click the Add Resource Location icon (
).
- Type the path to the shared location, using the UNC naming convention
on Windows or
the full path name on Linux.
- Click the Save Resource Location icon (
).
After the shared resource has been made available, users can create
test scripts that reference that resource from the shared location.
